    Has to be Seville for me.

    Stopping Rangers' 10 in a row i dont really see much as an acheivement in such, but it was a bit more speical than just another league win if that makes sense?

    Getting to the last 16.. i dont know really. It's not something i like Celtic supporters to brag about, because its the same Celtic support who say we are the biggest team in the world, so its very contradicting, if the biggest team in the world see's getting to the knock out stages of the Champions League an acheivement. To me, obviously depending on the group, we should be reaching the last 16 of the champions league nearly every season, celtic just never have the bottle to get an away win, and barely scrape by with home draws.

    But Seville? That isnt going to happen for a good while. The journey i think made it all the bit more speical in my opinion. Getting hit with injuries, Y.N.W.A with Liverpool, the clock ticking down as we desperatly need an away goal to take us through, it was just all so immense! Honestly think we were cheated out of a win in the final, and its heartbreaking, and Larsson even bringing it even twice in the game, the whole journey from Blackburn (FK Suduva was actually the first team, but the real test started with Blackburn) through to the last minute of the final minute vs Porto was immense! but credit where due to Mourhino, as he won the UEFA cup, then the following season the Champions League.

    I agree with Seville.

    I will preface this by saying that I was not there. However, the thing that stands out most for me about that. Seeing the pictures/video of thousands of Celtic supporters in Spain, a massive sea of green and white, in fine voice supporting the club. One word to describe it all - Class!

    Stopping 10 in a row without a shadow of a doubt.

    Stopping 10 in a row, and thats all down to one man, the bunnett Fergus Mccann.

    He's the best thing to happen to celtic since we won the European Cup, :50:

    Seville for me. Bit too young to remember 98.
    The moment when Henrik scored against Boavista was quite possibly the single greatest of my life. Will never forget that cup run.

    Henrik signing but from the options listed stopping 10 in a row. Could not have listened to their crap had we not stopped that happening.

    I think I would have to vote for stopping 10 in a row.

    The Huns would never have let us hear the end of that if they'd done 10 in a row. We'd still be hearing it now every time we had an argument with them.

    Getting to Seville was genuinely fantastic, and something I thought I'd never see, but it has been devalued a bit by the Huns getting to Manchester.

    Stopping the 10 for me too. They may have equalled 9, but it's still something we achieved first.

    can't see why reaching last 16 of Champions League could be described as a success at all. very ordinary teams manage that from time to time.

    stopping the 10 was massive.

    That is what we have become though, in terms of our playing squad - very ordinary. As you said these 'ordinary' teams only manage it from time to time.

    yes mate and saying those 2 times were the highlights in the last 20 years would make us unbelievably poor imo.
